CASE -- WAS WEARING REFLECTIVE CLOTHING AND HOLDING A STOP SIGN WHEN HE WAS HIT. HE IS IN CRITICAL CONDITION. THE DRIVER REMAINED AT THE SCENE. IT IS PAYDAY AND ANNAPOLIS. LAWMAKERS ARE QUIETLY GIVING THEMSELVES A HEFTY RAISE. THIS IS THE FIGHT CONTINUES TO RAISE THE STATE MINIMUM WAGE. DAVID JONES IS LIFE FROM ANNAPOLIS. THE ONLY LEGISLATIVE RECORD OF THIS STEALTH PAY INCREASE IS A GOP RESOLUTION REJECTING IT. THAT IS GOING NOWHERE. AN INDEPENDENT COMMISSION IS RECOMMENDING THE INCREASE AND IN ORDER FOR LAWMAKERS TO GET IT, THEY MUST DO THIS -- NOTHING. LEGISLATORS ARE IN LINE FOR A BIG BUMP IN PAY. 15.7% OVER THE NEXT FOUR YEARS. THEY DON'T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING TO GET IT. THEY DON'T HAVE TO ACT, VOTE, NOTHING. AS A MATTER OF FACT, DOING NOTHING GUARANTEES THEM A PAY RAISE. THE PUBLIC IS PUZZLED. I DON'T THINK THAT IS RIGHT. DO YOU WISH THAT WOULD HAPPEN TO YOU? OF COURSE! THE INCREASES WOULD PUT THEM AT $50,330. NOT SHABBY FOR A PART-TIME JOB. SOME OF US ARE NOT MAKING AS MUCH AS THAT. IT FIRST CAME TO LIGHT ONLINE. LEGISLATORS HAVE ALLOWED THE NEXT GOVERNOR TO GET A LEGISLATIVE PAY RAISE. IT IS BECAUSE THEY DID NOTHING TO STOP IT IN THE FIRST 45 DAYS OF THE SESSION. IT COMES FROM TWO INDEPENDENT SALARY COMMISSIONS AUTHORIZED BY THE STATE CONSTITUTION. IF LEGISLATORS DO NOT LOWER REJECT THEM, THEY GO INTO EFFECT AUTOMATICALLY. I THINK IT SHOULD BE A VOTE. I DON'T THINK THAT RAISES SHOULD BE AUTOMATIC. THE GOP CAUCUS INTRODUCED A RESOLUTION REJECTING IT, BUT IT HAS GONE NOWHERE. ALL THE TAXES THAT HAVE BEEN LEVIED ON FAMILIES, THEY HAVE ARE TIME THE -- THEY ARE HAVING A HARD TIME MAKING ENDS MEET. WE DON'T THINK THEY SHOULD GET A RAISE WITH THE ECONOMY THE WAY IT IS. CALIFORNIA'S FULL-TIME ASSEMBLY TOPS THE LIST. LAWMAKERS MAKE $90,000 A YEAR AND THAT IS A 22% CUT IN PAY SINCE 2009. DURING THE SESSION, $42 EIGHT A FOR MEALS, $101 A DAY FOR LODGING. OR TRAVEL ALLOWANCE WILL INCREASE FROM $500 TO $750. IT DOES NOT SEEM RIGHT. FOR 20% OF LEGISLATORS, THE POSITION IS THEIR ONLY JOB. THE REST ARE FULL-TIME. SOME ARE LAWYERS, THERE IS A DOCTOR, AND HER -- AN AIRLINE PILOT. LEGISLATORS IS MOSTLY PART-TIME. NO ONE IS HERE FOR THE MONEY. 1-WOOD TO STOP THE RACE IS TO PETITION THE GOP CAUCUS RESOLUTION OUT OF THE RULES COMMITTEE, BUT THAT WOULD REQUIRE 47 SIGNATURES, INCLUDING
